8th November

A day of strong Southerlies again failed to produce anything of note on the land and, as expected, totals of birds came from the Northern extremities of Ferrybridge and the Cove. The birding highlight of the day came from a settled Gadwall at Ferrybridge (the first for the year), 7 Pale-belliedBrentGeese, a lone SandwichTern, 37 Dunlin, and 2 Black-neckedGrebes. The Cove produced a similar tally to yesterday with 3 LittleGulls, 2 CommonScoter and 2 Red-throatedDivers. A marginally better day for passerines than yesterday, although that's not saying much, with a Yellow-browedWarbler at Fortuneswell and a BlackRedstart at Reap Lane being the main highlights.
